What is a Third Place?

The Federal Way Public Market, for one...

"The third place is a generic designation for a great variety of public places that host the regular voluntary, informal, and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home and work."
- Ray Oldenburg, The Great Good Place

Beyond home and work, a third place is somewhere you go regularly and are welcome. For many that is church or a community center. The Public Market will be a Third Place for everyone.
